Chapter 1016 The series ends, with constant exclamations
On the night of the 17th, the Trail Blazers left Space City and headed to New Orleans overnight.
On the 18th, the Trail Blazers started their 14th regular season game.
Counting from the New Orleans Hornets, the predecessor of the Pelicans, since Paul left New Orleans in 2011, the city has not made the playoffs for five consecutive years.
In the 2012 draft, local fans in New Orleans thought they were lucky enough to select Anthony Davis, the "Son of America" at the time, and that the team would surely rise.
Unexpectedly, Davis not only failed to bring the Pelicans back to the playoffs, but instead chose to "escape" New Orleans in the summer of 2015.
The sons of America have abandoned this city!
Under the leadership of Jimmy Butler and Josh Smith, the Pelicans failed to enter the playoffs last year and were ranked 10th in the Western Conference. Josh Smith was seriously injured again this season. Now the team's only hope lies in Jimmy Butler.
.
However, the ball market in New Orleans is average after all, and the team management did not catch any big fish this summer. It is difficult for Butler to gain a foothold in the Wild West by himself.
In terms of personal data, Butler has played a very strong performance. With the blessing of absolute possession of the ball, Butler's scoring average has reached a career high of 24.4 points. If he continues to play, he may not be able to enter the 25-point club this season.
.
Other statistics are also quite outstanding, averaging 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, which is also a career high.
This year, Butler is likely to usher in the second All-Star trip of his career.
But the team's record is very bad.
In the first 14 games, the Pelicans had a record of only 4 wins and 10 losses, ranking at the bottom of the Western Conference. For them, the playoffs are still as difficult to reach as a castle in the air.
According to some rumors, Butler is seriously dissatisfied with the current situation of the team and is currently seeking the possibility of being traded to other teams.
Never underestimate the pride in Jiba's heart. In the future, he will prove that he is the toughest man in the league!
Seeing that he was about to fail to make the playoffs for two consecutive years, the toughest man in the league couldn't help but vent to the team management.
Tonight, the Trail Blazers undoubtedly sprinkled a pinch of salt on his wounds.
At 7 p.m., the Trail Blazers will play the Pelicans back-to-back away.
The ending was as expected, with the Trail Blazers sealing the victory in three quarters.
Wang Zelin made 18 of 25 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers. Plus free throws, he scored 41 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists in less than 30 minutes!
After being screened without the ball, he encountered many situations where no one was guarding him to shoot easily. The Pelicans players seemed to no longer want to win.
No, to be precise, except for Jimmy Butler and Jrue Holiday, who still maintain strong fighting spirit, the other players are like eggplants that have been beaten with frost.
Today's Pelicans are in disarray, and no one can save them.
In less than two years, they have experienced a series of storms such as the departure of the core team members, serious injuries to the main players, and changes in the tactical system.
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team!
After a day of rest, the Trail Blazers continue their road trip on the 20th. Next, they will play two games in New York.
At 8 pm on the 20th, Wang Zelin and his teammates came to the Barclays Center, the home of the Brooklyn Nets.
They obviously have the most luxurious and advanced stadium in the league, and the team owner pays the highest luxury tax in the league every year, but the Nets have been playing shitty records in the past few years.
As of now, the Nets' record is 5 wins and 10 losses, ranking at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The playoffs have basically nothing to do with them.
This game is the first time the Trail Blazers have come to New York this season, and the Nets guard is Jeremy Lin, a rare yellow figure in the league. Therefore, the script of Jeremy Lin VS Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian was quickly hyped by the media.
Unsurprisingly, tonight was scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States, and Nets owner Mikhail Prokhov came to the scene to watch the game.
I thought it was an all-American live broadcast, and the Nets players had to be stunned in front of all the fans and their own boss no matter what they did, but after the game started, Plokhov's face became more and more ugly.
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led by double digits 32:21.
At the end of halftime, the difference between the two sides further widened, and the score reached 70:54.
In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers started a wave and scored 20 points in less than 5 minutes, widening the point difference between the two sides to 24 points and completely defeating the game.
At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Nets 139:109 away from home with a 30-point advantage.
The moment the final whistle ended, everyone could clearly see the livid face of the Nets' furry bear Prokhov. He tried his best to suppress his raging anger and stood up and left the arena immediately.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zelin always had a feeling of déjà vu.
I wonder if the Nets are poisonous?
Whether it is the current boss Prokhov or the future boss Tsai Chongxin, when they first took over the Nets, they were full of ambitions and wanted to do great things.
As a result... I was really slapped in the face by reality!
Paying the highest luxury tax in the league, the Nets have never even reached the Eastern Conference Finals, let alone the championship.
The whole Nets team used cruel reality to teach the two rich owners a good lesson, and came up with a rich version of "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"
After coming back to his senses, Wang Zelin joined the crazy celebration team.
After this battle, the Nets led the entire Eastern Conference with a record of 5 wins and 11 losses, and they are focused on launching a dive towards next year's No. 1 pick!
Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. The Nets have given away draft picks to outsiders a lot over the years. Other teams are really grateful to the Nets' meritorious general manager Billy King.
Especially the Green Army management, they have to give Billy King a few kowtows to show the gratitude deep in their hearts like a torrential river!
Let’s look at how outrageous Billie Gold’s operations have been in recent years.
Take the trade between the Nets and the Celtics in the summer of 2013: Gerald Wallace, Chriss, Humphreys, Brooks, Joseph Gambos plus 2014, 2016, 2018 draft picks and the 2017 first-round pick swap
Rights in exchange for Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, Brandon Bass, Jordan Crawford, DJ White and others.
Result: The Celtics used the 2014 draft pick James Young and the 2016 draft pick to select Bu** Ingram. In the previous life, they used the draft pick to select Fultz in 2017, and then traded it to the 75ers in exchange for the third overall pick Tatu.
Tom, the 2018 draft pick was traded to the Cavaliers in exchange for Kyrie Irving...
Look at this series of tricks. The reason why the Green Army was able to rise so quickly in the previous life was that they not only reached the conference finals one after another, but also reached the finals. Among these many achievements, Billie King must account for at least half of the credit.
The argument for low emotional intelligence: Billie Gold is just a pure undercover agent and will be fired directly!
A statement with high emotional intelligence: Billy King is indeed the biggest mastermind behind the league in recent years. After a few waves of transactions, he has easily changed the pattern of the entire Eastern Conference and even the entire league. His methods are so superb that they can be called turning a hand into a cloud and overturning a hand.
Not even for the rain!
All in all, since Billie King is such a smart guy, the Nets can just settle down and be the scapegoats and work hard for the Green Army.
The Trail Blazers started with a 15-game winning streak, leading the league with an astonishing record!
…
On the 21st, the team has a rest day.
Ajiali came to New York from Sacramento just to have a fun day with Wang Zelin.
It was precisely because she was busy preparing for the "Victoria's Secret" catwalk show on December 1 that Ajiali found a loophole and slipped in.
The last encounter in the Shura field had already made Ajiali completely willing to risk her life.
She didn't believe it. She had to have a good figure, good looks, and a good life experience, and she couldn't beat Kendall Jenner.
The hardest thing to accept is the kindness of a beautiful woman!
If a girl takes the initiative, how can he, Wang, be cowardly?
During the day, I spent an afternoon shopping with Ajiali in Times Square in New York City, and contributed a lot of material to the paparazzi.
In the evening, the two went in and out of the hotel in pairs again, making them trending again.
You don't need to think about it to know that Kendou will definitely scold you next time you meet him.
But Wang Zelin has now completely opened his eyes. How many male best friends can other girls have, so what’s the matter with how many female buddies he has?
Isn’t the introduction very reasonable?
I didn't steal, rob, or get married, but other girls took the initiative. In order not to violate the principles of the "Women's Hospital," what's wrong with cooperating?
From now on, Wang Zelin will only keep one principle in mind: don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't take responsibility...but you can cooperate!
After all, you can't go against a woman's wishes.
After playing in Times Square for a day, both of them were a little tired when they returned to the hotel, so they just had a casual dinner.
Just when Wang Zelin thought it would be a calm and peaceful night... there was a sudden movement in the quilt.
Only then did he realize that he was wrong again!
…
…
A night of silence.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Ajiali appeared at the Trail Blazers' training ground with Wang Zelin with a rosy face.
Feeling the strange looks from his teammates, Wang Zelin looked particularly magnanimous. He went to the locker room to change into training clothes, and started the morning training with Ajiali by his side.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the NBA officially announced the winners of the Eastern and Western Conference Player of the Week for the fourth week of this season and the third week of November.
In the East, Cousins has had a big breakout in the past week, averaging 30.7 points, 14.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 2 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage reached an astonishing 55.3%.
Moreover, the Cavaliers' record was also a win in three games, which allowed Cousins to finally defeat a number of strong players in the Eastern Conference and receive his first Player of the Week honor two years later.
Why do you say it's two years late?
It’s not because Cousins has been with the Kings in the Western Conference. Under the influence of a shameless cheater, even Curry and Durant have never won the regular season MVP, let alone the Cricket Weekly Player of the Week.
honor.
After Cousins escaped from the West, he finally came to an end and his development trajectory was much better than in the original time and space.
In the Western Conference, there were two main favorites to win last week's Best of the Week, one is Kevin Durant and the other is Wang Zelin.
The former helped the Warriors win 4 out of 4 games in the past week. At the same time, his personal statistics include 24.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1 steal and 2.8 blocks. His shooting rate reached an outrageous 58.9%, including an equally outrageous 50% three-point shooting rate.
%!
From the perspective of an outside player and a pitcher, Durant's offensive efficiency has reached subhuman levels.
The only drawback is that the output is slightly low.
So, he unexpectedly lost to the Trail Blazers No. 36 again.
Last week, the Trail Blazers defeated Mosaic, Pelicans and Nets by big scores in a row, averaging a terrifying 132.7 points per game and suppressing their opponents to an average of 101 points per game.
This brings the Trail Blazers' average point differential in the past three games to an extremely exaggerated 29.7 points!
There are no underdogs in the NBA!
This is a famous saying that has been circulating in the NBA world for a long time!
This is also true. In a game, the difference between two teams can exceed 5 points. If the difference is 10 points, it is already very serious. If the difference is 15 points, it can basically be regarded as that the two teams are not on the same level.
As a result, the Trail Blazers now average a margin of nearly 30 points per game!
The key is that the opponents in these three games are not all weak teams. Among them, the Houston Mosaic team is definitely the top team in the league. And then this is three consecutive away games, and there is also a back-to-back game...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Under the challenges of various harsh conditions, the Trail Blazers created miracles!
And the player who led the Trail Blazers to create this miracle is none other than Wang Zelin!
In the past three games, Wang Zelin averaged 41.3 points, 20.7 rebounds, 4 assists, 4.3 blocks and 1 steal per game, and his shooting percentage exceeded 70%!
The team's record and personal data are all extremely close to perfect. Even the pickiest fans can't find any faults.
In the end, to the sighs of Warriors fans and the exclamations of an even larger number of team fans, Wang Zelin won the Player of the Week for three consecutive weeks.
If nothing else happens, he will also become the first Western Conference Player of the Month after the start of the new season.
In the latest MVP ranking list of major authoritative media, Wang Zelin continues to dominate the crowd and tops the list.
In this regard, the outside world kept shouting in surprise.
Whether it is on major social media in North America or domestic forums, the feasibility of Wang Zelin continuing to win the MVP title is being discussed.
Here in North America, fans suddenly feel that the world is too crazy.
"Could it be said that that Oriental guy is going to win the MVP for 4 consecutive seasons?"
"Are you kidding? Even the great "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan has never done this kind of thing!"
"Even "Big Bird" Larry Bird only did it once and won the title for three consecutive years."
"That's the regular season MVP!"
In the mind of every NBA player, the regular season MVP trophy basically symbolizes the supreme personal honor in the NBA world. Players who can win the regular season MVP are regarded as first-class super players throughout history.
It’s not easy to get one. It’s rare to get two... Now, that Chinese center is about to get the fourth one?!
The magical magic from the East has turned the NBA upside down.
…
Wang Zelin didn't pay attention to the heated discussions from the outside world. After a small celebration with his teammates for winning another Player of the Week honor, the entire team once again immersed themselves in a state of active preparation.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' final game of four consecutive away games in mid-November is about to begin.
If the Nets are a waste of money in recent years, then the Knicks are the NBA's biggest enemy since entering the new century, bar none!
I guess no one expected that the small city of New York could actually gather such a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes!
But even so, it cannot be said that it is God who rewards us with food, no, it should be said that God chases us and feeds us.
The ten-year record collapse has not affected the Knicks from becoming the most valuable team in the league.
Really, you can make money just by standing up!
Tonight, the Trail Blazers defeated the game in just half a half, and the point difference widened to 24 points.
In the second half, Wang Zelin played for another 4 minutes, and after his personal score reached 31 points, he returned to the court and focused on flirting with Ajiali.
According to Ajiali, she has learned something new during this time and recalled some new knowledge. She plans to have a good exchange and study with him tonight.
Of course, Mr. Wang was in favor of this, and he suddenly had the urge to learn Indian!
